Abstract
A certification identifying medium such as debit card or credit card comprising a substrate preferably made of a paper material, a bar code band printed or layered on the substrate with a material including a magnetic material provided with a specific coercive force and a magnetic record band disposed on the substrate to magnetically record information of the bar code. A mask band made of a non-magnetic material is applied to the substrate to cover at least the bar code band to prevent the visual observation thereof. The bar code band generally comprises a plurality of bar codes which have the specific coercive force different from each other.
